About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She trained in psychology at the University of Louisville and completed a Doctorate in Psychology at Spalding University.
Julie has worked in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, schools, group homes, prisons, and community mental health programs. Her work has included adults, children, adolescents, and people in recovery from substance use.
Background and approach
She has provided in-home support for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens, taught parenting classes, and led anger management and family reunification programs. These varied roles shape a practical, hands-on approach to care. Julie favors a strengths-based stance.
She helps people name what matters to them and builds steps that fit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills people can use between meetings, and talking through painful events in ways that feel manageable. Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
She combines these methods to match the needs of each person. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, testing small behavioral changes, or working through attachment and relationship patterns. Julie also brings comfort and creativity into sessions.
She often uses art, games, and therapeutic animals when helpful. She describes therapy as collaborative work and aims to help people regain balance in their emotions, relationships, and daily routines.

Approaches that guide online work and change
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the feelings that drive their reactions, and then try new ways of connecting or responding. It is often used when relationships, attachment injuries, or intense emotions are central concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them. It teaches practical exercises for managing difficult thoughts and building a life that matches what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed early in relationships and how they affect current behavior. The work helps identify those patterns and practice different, healthier responses in relationships and everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with emotion-focused conversations, adding ACT skills for coping, or using attachment work to shift relationship patterns.
Online sessions offer flexibility and a range of formats. Video calls are closest to a face-to-face meeting and let the therapist and client read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or clients who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, school, or mobility limits.
